Transformers Thread

That sucks. Their toy selection hasn’t been as on point as usual, but they haven’t been terribad.

Stopped by the local classic toy warehouse BobaKhan:

    They have a pretty awesome classic Transformers selection, including Scorponok and Maximus in box. I’d love to go back to Japan and check out their best toy stores, hopefully catching great stuff like Omega Supreme in box.

Gobots still suck.

Puzzler is an excellent G1-style combiner, that would have a nice spot in any TF collection.

Late to the dinobot conversation but I would have preferred more members to be added. Mainly because I like dinosaurs but if they had added ankylosaurus dinobot I would have been all over that.

Tonka had no idea what they were doing in America with that line. Machine Robo was far greater.

Peter Cullen and Frank Welker talk about the evolution of their respective characters.

Interestingly, they had a sixth member before they turned into dinosaurs

Their newest sixth member is a double-headed dragon girl!

I may actually grab the Terrorcons

Damn. Terrorcons are in my Top-3 all time favorite combiner teams (alongside Menasor and Predaking). My wallet won’t be happy about this.

I love the Fire Convoy/RID 2001 toy. I bought him and Magnus in for 60 USD total.

Even with inflation and Takara import fees,the most I’d consider would be 125.

I’d even go as far as saying $150 for me to get another set. That’s highway robbery IMO for that set.

Wow.

I got married this past Friday. The ring was called “OPTIMUS” from the jeweler.

Made one additional customization to make it special!

Not sure if any of you have heard, but MP Dinobot is suspected to be $250 at retail. All of the pre-order sites show that as the tentative price. I am waiting for the overseas sellers to chime in before I get worried.

Apparently someone on tfw2005 in Sierra Vista, Arizona found the new POTP Jazz and Dreadwind in Target.

In contrast, I havent even seen Titans Return Wave 5/6 yet. lol.

Looks F’N Great. Too bad your wallet is about to get slagged with this release. If you look at the raptor mode chest, it even allows you to do the “chest bursting” transformation step from the show.
